[W126 Coupe] Trim removal - 1990 560 SEC

[Mike R.]

1)       use a plastic wedge (or a piece of hardwood) to pry it straight up.
If you're going to paint the car, then remove both outside mirrors as it
makes is easier to get the chrome strips out and it makes it easier
(therefore cheaper) for the painter.

 

2)       Lots of 8mm nuts on the inside of the trunk and lid. Pull out the
upholstery in the trunk wells and the nuts for the little strips are readily
apparent. 

 

3)       If you're about to paint the car then also remove:

 

a.       Door handles

b.       Windshield washer nozzles

c.       Headlights, tail lights, turn signal assemblies

d.       Radio antenna

e.       Front and rear bumpers (6 & 8 bolts, respectively)

f.         Chrome trim by the rear side windows (same process and front
window chrome)

 

Later,

Mike R.
